Suns vs Nets Picks and Prediction – 1/23/2025

In Wednesday night NBA action, the Phoenix Suns will travel to the Barclays Center to take on the Brooklyn Nets. For other NBA action see our NBA Predictions. The Suns (21-21) are five games below .500 on the road and are tied with Golden State for tenth place in the Western Conference standings. On Monday, Phoenix trailed by 13 points at halftime and turned the ball over 17 times during a 118-92 road loss against Cleveland. 

All-Star F Kevin Durant tallied a team-high 23 points on 9-for-16 shooting and pulled down seven boards. All-Star G Devin Booker added 15 points (6-14 FG) and four assists for the Suns, who shot 47 percent from the field. 

The Brooklyn Nets are looking to snap a four-game losing streak and have become an afterthought in the Eastern Conference standings. The Nets (14-30) rank 26th in the league in offensive efficiency and are scoring a measly 106.6 points per contest. Last night, Brooklyn shot an ice cold 37 percent from the field during a 99-95 home loss versus New York. 

D’Angelo Russell led five Brooklyn players in double figures with 23 points (7-7 FT) and ten assists. Cameron Johnson missed 14 of 20 field goal attempts and finished with 16 points. Tyrese Martin added 13 points and seven rebounds for the Nets. 

Phoenix C Jusuf Nurkic has missed the last several games with an illness and is unlikely to suit up for this contest. These two teams rank in the bottom third of the league in defensive efficiency. With the Nets playing on consecutive nights, take the over to cash. Final Score Prediction, Phoenix Suns win 119-110.
